Abortion - 804 words
Abortion Abortion has always been (and I reckon it
will continue to be for quite some time) a very
controversial issue not only due to the difficult
comparison of rights (does the mother's rights
outweigh the child's or vice-versa?) but also
because of the many different instances in which
the issue of abortion might come up. For instance,
one couple who simply wants to plan their family,
and be ready for it, is obviously different and
less shocking a case as a raped fifteen-year old.
Regarding abortion, pro-life and pro-choice are
the two sides trying to impose their own points of
view, but while one is extremely strict and makes
a completely solid statement without taking each
case in part ...

Brave New World - 510 words
Brave New World Chemistry is an important key to
achieving a world of Community, Identity, and
Stability in Aldous Huxleys novel, Brave New
World. Huxley himself said that the main theme of
his novel is not the advancement of science as
such; it is the advancement of science as it
affects human individuals. Huxley was obviously
rather concerned with the use and misuse of
science. As to getting his point of the amazing
advancement of science across, Huxley uses a lot
of detail in his settings. He uses the decanting
process, the conveyor belt at the Hatchery,
chemical persuasion, and the new terminology, such
as the Bokanovsky Process, involved in just about
everything. In a way, I see it as H ...

Computers And Finance Computers And Finance
Computers have made financial bookkeeping much
easier, and people no longer have to spend hours
tracking investments or pay someone else to do
their taxes. Moreover, the advancement in
technology has allowed governments to cut back on
the number of big companies and employees hired to
process tax returns, resulting in the saving of
millions of dollars. Although these advancements
are extraordinary, they are not without their
shortcomings. The IRS has had increased trouble in
tracking fraudulent tax returns, and has had to
revamp its detection system. The most surprising
part of Microsoft's current purchase of Intuit,
the maker of the Quicken line o ...

Dreams - 1,087 words
Dreams The moon had two hands, one holding a bow
and arrows and the other a burden strap of a
woman. The moon then offered to the dreamer to
make choice, but would often try to confuse him by
crossing its hands. If he became the possessor of
the burden strap, he would be condemned to live as
a woman for the remainder of his life. He would be
required to dress as a woman, marry another man,
and undertake womans work. Such people were known
as a bedache in the Oglala Sioux and suicide was
the only way to escape this fate. This is a
description of a puberty dream in the Oglala Sioux
tribe, this was a very popular ritual that
consisted of a young man sleeping in a special
place in the wilderness ...

Espionage In Wwii - 1,106 words
Espionage In Wwii Many of us can remember playing
childhood games when we were younger. One of my
personal favorites was hide and seek. My favorite
part of the game was when I was hiding and tried
to watch where the seeker looked while he or she
searched. Of course I could have been caught, but
it wasn't a big deal at the time. What would
happen though if the seeker didn't know who he was
looking for, but knew someone was hiding? How
would he go about finding the person? Further more
how much more could the person accomplish if they
were hiding right in front of them, but the seeker
did not know? Well it may sound a little off, but
that was basically the game of espionage. Spies
would try to ...

Homohablis - 545 words
Homohablis The next most recent ancestor of man is
Homo habilis. The first ever fossil remains of
Homo habilis were discovered in 1964 in Tanzania,
East Africa by the Leakeys. Robert Jurmain wrote
in his text book, Introduction to Physical
Anthropology, Louis Leakey suggested that there
was a Plio-Pleistocene hominid with a
significantly larger brain then found in
Australiopithecus. They made this claim based on
the findings at Olduvai Gorge. Leakey and his team
gave a new species name to the fossil remains The
fossils of Homo habilis are different then those
of the Australopithecines by several physical
characteristics such as a larger cranial cavity,
smaller rear teeth, and skeletal bones ...

Piaget Vygotsky - 1,971 words
Piaget & Vygotsky Piaget and Vygotsky Theories of
Cognitive Development Everyday life is
characterized by conscious purpose. From reaching
for food to designing an experiment, our actions
are directed at goals. This purpose reveals itself
partly in our conscious awareness and partly in
the organization of our thoughts and actions.
Cognition is the process involved in thinking and
mental activity, such as attention, memory and
problem solving. Much past and present theory has
emphasized the parallels between the articulated
prepositional structure of language and the
structure of an internal code or language of
thought. In this paper I will discuss language and
cognition and two famous theori ...

Rattlebone By Clair - 1,134 words
Rattlebone By Clair "A novel or a collection of
short stories?" may be a question that a critic
asks about Rattlebone. Maxine Clair portrays both
arguments with her energetic writing style. A
blend of random comments and many unique phrases
intermix with the intense plot. Writing like this
gives the reader a more relaxed state and the book
seems more alive and real. In answer to the
critique question, Maxine Clair is writing a novel
because of an abundant supply of foreshadowing, a
collection of narrators, a recurrence of
characters, and a process commonly known to man as
aging. Suggesting that Rattlebone is in fact a
novel, foreshadowing occurred in several places
during the book. Clair use ...

Student Company Paper Our student company, Wahawk
Shop, had many strengths and weaknesses. I believe
our biggest strength is our creativity. We had
come up with a large amount of possible product
ideas. We also had very creative advertising, both
in posters and video. Another strength our company
had was our product. We finally decided on can
koozies and a deck of playing cards,
screen-printed with the West High school logo. I
think we had a good, original product at a fair
price. Our company also had many weaknesses. Our
biggest weakness was our lack of organization.
Many people were hazy about exactly what was going

UHF signal travels by line-of-sight propagation to
the antenna and receiver. The process involved in
receiving a TV signal and recovering it to present
the picture and sound outputs in a high-quality
manner is complex. Over the course of the past 50
years since its invention, the TV set has evolved
from a large vacume tube unit into a smaller and
more reliable solid-state unit made with mostly
ICs. The signal from the antenna or the cable is
connected to the tuner. The tuner is used to
select which TV channel is to be viewed and to
convert the picture and sound carriers plus their
modulation to an intermediate frequency (IF). As

industry as a whole has compromised, shifted, and
